This is the most commonly practiced Pilates excercise regime. Generally in groups of 15 or less, the class focusses on spinal and joint alignment. Beginners are introduced to the basics of the Pilates program, learning to stand correctly in everyday life. Excercises are performed on all fours and lying on your front, side and back. Excercises focus on engaging the pelvic floor and working the deep abdominal muscles to effectively support the spine. Small apparatus such as foam blocks and dyna bands add variation to the excercises. Classes develop in intensity along with the students strength and flexibility.
